Uf Tukel of iCruise.com was on the top deck of the midport parking garage at Port Everglades, Ft. Lauderdale as the 225,000-ton Oasis of the Seas arrived for the first time. She was met by a half a dozen helicopters and flotilla of fire boats spaying large jets of water to welcome the ship to her new home.

The Oasis of the Seas is 40% larger than the next largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean Freedom of Seas and her sisters. She carries 6,600 passengers and over 2000 crew. She is 16 decks tall, 154 feet wide, and almost 1200 feet long. By comparison, Titanic was 46,000 tons; 900 feet long; 90 feet wide; 10 decks high; and carried 1300 passengers and 900 crew.

I'm not saying you're incorrect, I just find it hard to believe that a jet engine can supply more energy than a nuclear power plant, even if it is using far more fuel at a given time.

No big deal.

I remember in the late 80's at the Wichita Airshow a B-1 flew over the crowd hauling ass, and the announcer states," That's the sound of a million horsepower ladies and gentlemen!".

I initially thought it was bullshit, but sure enough, the math worked out.

You know according to the dimensions in the Bible, the Ark was bigger than Arrowhead. If you take the average size of the average animal, 2 of every animal could easily have fit. I mean 80,000 human animals fit in Arrowhead and that's just in the seating area. Just sayin..........

Leela: Dark matter oil? What if we hit something? The tanker could leak.
Farnsworth: Impossible! [He presses a button and an enlarged holographic cross-section of the tanker appears.] The tanker has 6,000 hulls. So, unlike me, it's entirely leak-proof. [He points at a new hologram with the fing-longer.] Now, once you've hauled the tanker past the protestors--

Later in the episode...

Zoidberg: All 6,000 hulls have been breached!
[Fry falls to his knees.]
Fry: Oh, the fools! If only they'd built it with 6,001 hulls! When will they learn?

No, actually, it's a pretty tiny joystick. Just goes to show that it's not the size of your joystick that's important, it's how you use it.

I designed a cutter system for the propellers of this ship,and also over saw the installation of them. This ship is unreal. There were Carnival ships drydocked beside it, and this ship was taller than them in the water, than they were out of it.
